Steven had to wave his magic plot-trowel over some cracks that were left in the story after it was rewritten. Sadly, he didn't get them all.

I loved Ace, but however you feel about her… it could have been worse. Adric could have still been the companion. Yeeeeaah.

Clearly.

Which is it? Elements or settings? You wouldn't be attempting to use a sneaky little bit of equivocation, would you?

The McGann period was the best. Well, OK, the TV movie was a bit rubbish, but the EDA's and Big Finish stuff were brilliant.

Oi, toerag!

I'm aware of how sexuality was regarded in those times. However, my comment is being read by people alive today, and they may not be, hence my use of a simple to understand term such as "straight".

Good sir/madam, if you are so inclined, I would like to introduce you to a site called The Pirate Bay. It offers adherents of a nautical lifestyle (such as myself) the opportunity to watch a program without such pesky interferences, and at a time of my choosing. One of course does need to take the proper prophylactic…

They were wholly modern in their attitudes, and their acceptance of Bill. This is why discussion of such issues should be left out of Doctor Who altogether. It's too easy to get it wrong and piss off the people they're trying to represent. To make that inference explicit, yes, I am a same-sex attracted individual. I…

Don't change the subject. It's really quite juvenile.

It was an unequal partnership, based primarily on power and class constructs that existed at the time, and had little in…

You'd be safe on Rottnest Island. Quokkas love everyone. Just… maybe stay on the boat.

I just showed this to one of our crows. They were not impressed, and they know you now, so you better watch yourself if you ever visit Down Under.

It mattered enough for it to be a multi-minute bit. It was wildly inaccurate, too.

I reckon she's pre-Delgado.

Star eating locusts. Okey dokey then. No-one in the Roman army was straight. Righto. Crows are just errand boys for the Doctor. Uh huh.

Donald J. Twit is a ginger isn't he? The Doctor's always wanted to be ginger…

It's a standard visual trope. The decay of society is reflected in it's physical state. It's also a handy way of saying "it's your world, but not as you know it". In other words its a lazy-ass way of doing the work that would normally be done by character interaction, which they didn't have time for because they spent…
